All flights must connect through another Caribbean airport such as San Juan, St. Thomas, Antigua, St. Kitts or St. Maarten/St. Martin. Tortola's airport code is EIS, San Juan, Puerto Rico's airport Code SJU, St. Thomas's airport Code STT.

If you are flying into St. Thomas, take a taxi and let the taxi driver know that you need to take the next ferry to Tortola. The taxi drivers will know of any schedule changes and make sure you reach the proper terminal for your connection. We suggest purchasing a one way ticket which will leave you more options when it is time to leave our home. You will arrive at West End, Tortola or Road Town, Tortola. Either location is about the same distance to our villa.

Remember that ferries from St. Thomas to Tortola only operate during daylight hours - so the last ferry is usually around 5pm.

Travellers from the UK (from London, Gatwick) and Canada may find it easiest to travel directly to Antigua and then take a connecting flight to Tortola on Liat, Caribbean Star, Caribbean Sun, or private charter flights.
